Howdy

Thanks for the photos. I like that old RR photo too, I have it in one of my RR books.

In a slightly similar vein, have you ever come across a photo of an iron framed Henry with a casehardened finish, rather than a blue finish?

Thanks

DJ, here is a pic of the Henry Rifle sn.2 .
It's just one of three known existing examples having case-hardened iron frames.
There is  a Brass frame Henry Rifle with the sn.2 too.



A pic from the Iron Frame Henry Rifle sn.157.

and a pic of the Henry Rifle sn.155

Hey Lonesome

Thanks so much for the photos of the case hardened iron frames. I can't see much of the case hardening, but I will take your word for it. At least I know now that my Uberti case hardened 'iron frame' is kind of authentic.
That’s bad business! How long do you think I’d stay in operation if it cost me money every time I pulled a job? If he’d pay me that much to stop robbing him, I’d stop robbing him.

Ya probably inherited every penny ya got!

DJ, only the Henry sn.2 has a case hardened iron frame. It's not my word, but the word of the late Les Quick.
The two other Henrys are for comparison only.

Excellent and interesting pictures... However, have any of you noted how carelessly their firearms muzzles are pointed?

Also notice where some of the followers are positioned. Some of those are loaded ::)

In the third photo, you see a guy who's all decked out in studio props for the photo.  New hat, shotgun chaps, new holster and a cartridge belt that looks like it's full of large caliber rifle ammunition set in wide cartridge loops.  Great photo with a lot of cool stuff.  It also looks like the glass plate negative may have been reversed when the photo was printed.

In the top picture of post #26, the Henry appears to be a carbine.

Do you know if these are Civil War time photos or post war?  Those are great.  Our 1st Sgt of our reenactment group has a Henry and also plays the banjo.

Sorry Sean, i don't know.They are both from the new book: Volcanic Firearms.
The 1st Sgt.( Cavalry ?) looks very young to me.

I would think the son of the 1st Sgt. in a child's uniform.  Seen photos of Officers with their son dressed like them in a uniform.  A 1st. Sgt. could get away with that probably.  Or maybe a photo studio with props?
